Well not all of us see snow every day so Snow mode will not be even touched. Those in snow don't even need snow mode. Just common sense and foot reaction and stay off the pedal.

 

Maybe if your running with 205 winter tires. I got the 245 all seasons on the back of mine in Canada, in winter. Trust me, you need the snow mode on the highway here. Even in sixth gear on the 250 you can get the back wheels to spin with virtually no pressure on the pedal.

 

I'm sorry, in power mode my car is "twitchy" enough, no need to make it worse.

 

yes, you are right. it just simply amplifies the signal of the gas pedal. Maybe this device is more suitable for people with IS250.


when you install this device it make its super overly hypersensitive already when the ECT is OFF.

you are right, it doesn't even snow here so ECT SNOW is useless to me.

 

TO EACH THEIR OWN....
Some people prefer a smooth acceleration and some prefer crazy acceleration.

 

Does it affect fuel economy any?

 

the answer to this most probably will be yes. it will worsens a bit, thats what happened when i had SB in my other car. 99.9% sure. there are some users out there though that report maybe a 1-1.5mpg better mpg's. most people will say SB wont increase mpg, but the matter of fact quite a few people got better mileage because of this device. so i'm not really sure if it does improve or worsens the fuel economy.

 

It can't speed up throttle "signals" either. If the device only attaches to the throttle pedal, then all it can only amplify the signal. Basically, the nice smooth pedal response that can easily and effectively be modulated is turned into an on / off switch. That would be a reduction in true performance.
